One problem is if you need to support Windows clients. Microsoft charges $1600 for deduplication support or something like that: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/dat...

Deduplication is included with every version and edition of windows server since 2012. You need to license windows server properly of course, but there is no add-on cost for deduplication.
